OK so some areas where a GA professional body/lobby group IS required (excuse those terms or acronyms which are obsolete but you will know what I mean):
- CASA regulatory reform- review & feedback
- CASA malpractice/injustice/complaints/dispute resolution
- DOTARS security & ASICs
- GAAP Aerodrome operator malpractice/injustice/complaints/dispute resolution
- Representation to government on policy direction;
- ATO professional standards liability limitation scheme
- Education to industry on those things CASA are doing that are not a bad thing, or a good thing, or not as bad as they seem (because CASA is consistently demonstrating that they can't do their own job)
All of the above would require significant and visible backing from the industry.
Does the RAAA or AOPA act for GA on any of the above? Has the RAAA or AOPA made any submissions on Part 61, or Part 141, or Part 142?
Who would help set up a new squeaky wheel for GA?
